Comment (by dd32):

 Personally, I'm questioning the value of the translated emails completely.

 The reviews are conducted 100% in english, and the handbooks are in
 english.

 Having the Submission interface in a translated language doesn't that
 ''that much'' extra work, but the emails translations are probably never
 actually even used.

 Since WordPress.org doesn't store locales per user, and doesn't store
 which locale the plugin submission came from, the emails WordPress.org
 sends about plugin rejections are likely in English 100% of the time.

 I've raised this elsewhere, but I've also questioned if some of the emails
 shouldn't be shorter with a link to a handbook page (in english) that
 expands on items much more than is possible in the emails.
